00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.359
Lion rises in the east tonight. Look for the distinctive
3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:21.519
backward question mark pattern. That's the lion's head and Maine regulus.

00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:27.199
A blue white star marks his heart. A long March

two D rocket is set to launch later today from
6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.359
Jukwan Satellite Launch Center. People's Republic of China, China is
7
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.520
behind this one. A small space rock named twenty denote

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.920
six FU two makes a close approach in about five days.
9
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.039
It's about the size of a small building, passing roughly
10
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.200
two times the Moon's distance. Scientists will be watching two
11
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.079
planets grace the evening tonight. Venus dazzles in the west
12
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.960
just after sunset, while Mar glows orange higher in the sky.
13
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.719
Both are visible for several hours. The moon is growing
14
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.359
brighter each night as it approaches full Tonight, it'll stay
15
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.280
up late, so stargazing is best right after sunset. Solar
16
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.000
activity is up and the Northern Lights could make an
17
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.400
appearance tonight. For viewers across Canada and the Northern States.
18
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.439
Step outside after dark, face north and give it a
19
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.480
few minutes. You might be surprised. The Artemis two launch
20
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.879
vehicle and spacecraft have returned to the launchpad for a
21
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:43.079
launch as soon as aprilbarst Ai helped gather tonight's update
22
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:47.560
from NASA and Spaceflight News sources. Rest easy knowing the
23
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.319
